One of My Favorite Hobbies

Cooking with fresh herbs makes even a basic meal taste yummy. 

This year we added an herb garden to our backyard vegetable garden. It was so fun going to our 'own store' each night to gather seasonings for dinner, or even breakfast! Scrambled eggs with fresh basil, oregano, and thyme is delicious! The health benefits to each are amazing too! (click Read More)

If you haven't experimented with growing herbs, do it! It is easy peasy and they require little care, which is great for us since we are on the go with sports and vacations. 

We finished baseball season and are heading into Fall football season so I wanted to try drying herbs to keep them once the plants started to die. I researched grinding and storing versus storing them whole. I decided to store them whole because the flavor is supposed to last longer. 

It took about 3 weeks for them to dry hanging in our basement/pantry. I put them in mason jars with erasable labels so everything can be reused (reused, repurposed, and recycled is great!) It is very convenient to have our herbs ready to go as we cook. We normally do not follow recipes and experiment with this and that. ​
